      Hate to be a nit-picker, but here goes – the link to the Lumia 635 is for a ‘no-contract’ phone, not an ‘unlocked’ phone.

      The difference is a ‘no-contract’ phone is tied to a specific carrier (in this case AT&T), while an ‘unlocked’ phone can be used on any carrier that supports the network the phone supports (normally GSM, which is supported by AT&T and T-Mobile and their various VMNOs in the U.S.).

      An unlocked phone is usually more expensive than no-contract phone, the Lumia 635 usually runs around $175 for an unlocked version, but you have the freedom to jump carriers if you’re not happy with the first one you pick or move to an area better supported by a different carrier

      I wouldn’t be too quick count out the future of Windows

      As long as Microsoft can control the corporate desktop market, most home users will want to ‘use what I use at work’ and will get a Windows machine.

      Running Office on a phone or tablet may seem nice for viewing documents and tweaking content, but for doing serious content creation, nothing beats a large screen and full-size keyboard.

      Have you tried Tools>>Internet Options>>Content>>Auto Complete>>Delete AutoComplete History… ?

      are you using LastPass or some other password manager? those programs can fill in fields other than username and password

    • in reply to: lE 11 coming to a Windows 7 PC near you #1423488

      Internet Explorer 11 caused a problem on my Windows 7 machine with Media Center, I could no longer play .avi files in Media Center (would get an error window and Media Center would restart.)
      Uninstalling IE 11 would not resolve the problem, had to use System Restore to go back to before IE was installed, and reapplied the updates except for IE 11. Media Center was then able to play .avi files. I then applied the registry edit to prevent IE 11 from being installed and hid the update in Windows Update. I went through the same dance with IE 10, so I’m still rocking IE 9 on my Media Center PC.
